Dell PP40L Power Adapter
If your decision is to purchase a different brand charger, please check on both the voltage and amperage output. When purchasing a replacement AC charger, selecting the Dell OEM charger will probably be the safest way to go. A universal power adapter is another possibility if yours is unavailable or backordered. Because Dell uses one power charger that is most likely used on other laptop models, be certain to thoroughly note the part number that is needed for this model. The Dell PP40L power adapter is responsible for two things, to charge up the main battery and to provide a source of power for the unit.
What are the clues to watch out for to know my power adapter is dying?
- Most Dell AC adapters get warm when plugged in for any length of time
- Your Dell battery refuses to charge every time
- The unit will not run without the battery installed
